Everyone stay warm with this weather we are experiencing. We are out and working, but if I can help you prevent issues from arising, I would love to. The less colics I see the better. Let’s see if we can encourage increased water intake for everyone.

I have not said anything yet, because honestly, I have the best clients! You guys pay attention, whatever your discipline, to your equine community!! I was fortunate enough to become aware of what was starting on Tuesday late afternoon. We have already started boosting some horses that travel routinely, while making plans to get more taken care of.

While most of the time your vaccines are considered effective for a year, horses that travel, will stress their immune system, and may need a "top off" especially with a Flu/Rhino booster. I will also preface this by saying that some of the horses that have contracted this disease HAVE been vaccinated.

There is still a lot we don't know about this outbreak, but please know that we are doing all we can to mitigate any unnecessary exposure.
We will have extra safety measures in place for the following 2-3 weeks depending on what comes to light in the next few days.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to check with us.

All these extra precautions are for the safety of your equine partners!!

Here are a couple links to help answer more questions:
